About Delhi

Delhi is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. In contrast, the imperial city of New Delhi created by the British Raj is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and imposing government buildings.

Qutab Minar

Qutab Minar

If a survey takes place asking the participants only one question ‘which is the most-loved minaret in India?’- The answer would undoubtedly be- Qutab Minar. For many, Qutab Minar is as old as the existence of Islamic influence on Delhi. This 73 metres tall minar is a proud icon of Delhi as UNESCO has declared it a world-heritage site long back. If you love any architectural site that is surrounded by green nature, then Qutab Minar should be in the itinerary in your Delhi tour package. The beauty of Qutab Minar lies with the fact that , while most of the times we associate ‘ruining’ with Indian historical monuments, this minar is fantastically well-maintained. The saddest part would be that- no visitor is allowed inside of it. But don’t feel sorry as the grace and elegance of this red sandstone and marble made architecture are enough to make your heartbeat faster. The marvelous inscriptions from Quran, on the body of this minaret, will surely invoke the history-lover inside you. Whether you are planning for an elaborate Delhi Agra tour or a quick tour and travels in Delhi and outside of it- make sure that you should pay a visit to this breath-taking piece of architecture from Delhi’s legendary Slave dynasty. The location of Qutab Minar is also most-convenient -as it’s close to Delhi Metro route. If you are taking a tour of the city by auto, then rest assured as the auto drivers of Delhi are extremely enthusiast to show the visitors this glowing heritage of the city.
